It has got pretty well noised about the world that American women are, on the whole, more interesting than any others. This statement is not made boastfully, but simply as a market quotation, as one might say. They are sought for; they rule high.
But an ounce of prevention is worth several tons of cure. Petrosino claimed not boastfully that he could, with proper deportation laws behind him, exterminate the Black Hand throughout the United States in three months.

"That was the way we first planned things," he said boastfully, "but when it came to working out our plans, we found I would be needed here till I learned the business, and then I'm going on the road. I am going to be the salesman. To travel, dress well, eat well, flirt with the pretty girls, and take big lumber orders will just about suit little old Georgie."
He scampered up to Bill's house, where the two boys retired to the chilly seclusion of the shack and compared notes. "We've got a fifteen-pound turkey," said John boastfully. "That's nothing," Silvey dug scornfully into the hard dirt floor with his heel. "You ought to see ours. Twenty pounds, and my, such a big fellow!

Only Marion, sitting still and watchful on her pony, was not misled. She felt that Haig was playing with Huntington, and biding his time. Huntington's vanity completed his self-delusion. "Four thousand, two hundred dollars" he replied boastfully, glancing around at his neighbors. "Whew!" uttered Haig, between pursed lips. Then to Larkin: "You were hard pressed, weren't you?
She read the account that Sara had somewhat boastfully written, of her prospects, her pretty home, and of her lover's devotion to her. What think you, Olive? Is not that something to be married for? You ask if I am happy. Yes, certainly, happier than you can imagine." "That is true, indeed," murmured Olive; and there came upon her a bitter sense of the inequalities of life.
Men, women, and children, all made their noisy and conflicting observations on the sight before them, in every variety of tone, from the tremulous accents of terror, to the loud vociferations of bravado. Some spoke boastfully of the achievements that would be performed by the Romans, when their expected auxiliaries arrived from Ravenna.
